tagging dwarfs
« on: June 29, 2010, 10:23:05 am »

Ability to place tags on dwarfs, and later find them by those tags.
examples:

Possibility to set migrants to enter area with 'migrant'-tag and automatically forbit jobs on dwarfs with the tag, so one could find the migrants, set their jobs, and remove the tag when wanted/needed.
Possibility to add 'potential military'-tag to dwarfs one doesn't need for other jobs, and find them when setting up the military.

I realize you want this to be an in-game feature, but in the meanwhile you can achieve something like this by setting custom professions or nicknames with tools such as Dwarf Manager/Foreman/etc.  I do the same.
